Share of energy from renewable sources in 2022 (%):

🇱🇺 14.4 🇧🇪 13.8 🇲🇹 13.4 🇮🇪 13.1

"European Union countries and lawmakers will negotiate "Euro 7" proposals this year on tighter limits for car - for , but not petrol - and for heavy-duty and buses, including nitrogen oxide and monoxide.

The rules would also cover tyre and brake emissions."

This will mean less air pollution and less pollution. Car makers balk, but this is still better for them than a big push for public transit.
